I have worked a bit under linux and like it. I have spent most of my time
at work on HP-UX and PC-based OSes: Red Hat and Mandrake on Intel
hardware. Little to no experience with MacOS or PowerPCs in general.
Anybody familiar with PowerPC and MacOS should enjoy some laughs at my expense.
Well, I have an "old world" PowerPC 8600/250 and want debian on it. I have
160MB of RAM, so I figure I'll have a pretty decent little box. I have
downloaded the first installation .iso and cut it; I don't know where to go
now. I can't figure how to get it to boot from the CD I made.
Can anybody give me some advice on what to do? I think that once I get
started, there are enough FAQs and threads and the like to keep me going
for a while. Not being familiar with the hardware, I feel so helpless.
Thank you for your help.
